I woke up this morning, and after showering, I noticed some really severe dry skin on my face- it actually hurts. So I continued with my normal facial routine- cleanser and moisturiser.

I've not changed products for about 2 months- and even then it was only my facial scrub. I was wondering if it was stress related- seeing as I'm about to go to uni etc? It kinda comes down the side of my face from my eyebrows. It's not peeling or anything, just really rough and painful- it was excruciating when I moisturised but it didn't really do anything.

I had something similar when I moved to uni. I ended up using E45 on the areas diluted with a bit of water which seemed to help a bit, but I guess it settled down once I had settled into uni life. If it's a big concern though, go see a doctor as stressing about it will probably only make it worse!
